A FILM. A SERIES. A CAUSE. TO END THE USE OF CHILD SOLDIERS WORLDWIDE. MARCH FOR THE CHILD SOLDIER

Be part of the Exclusive Screening of the Award Winning Short “THE CHILD SOLDIER” a film by Eppo Eerkes.

He stepped into the war zone in Northern Uganda and met with Child Soldiers. A promise was made.

“The Child Soldier” is a short film which follows the story of Samuel, a boy living in a small village, plagued by famine, war, and economic devastation. The film’s setting mirrors the economic situation in northern Uganda. But this tale will not be told against the backdrop of the African plain.

Samuel’s story plays out in a fictional world. But his experiences, hopes, dreams, fears and conflicts are an amalgamation of a vast number of factual, documented accounts from real Ugandan children who have experienced similar fates. Samuel’s story is their story. It’s spoken in a new and desperately needed voice. His story stands as a symbol to all children who are forced to fight in wars worldwide.

MARCH FOR THE CHILD SOLDIER will be an unforgettable evening. Complete with a red carpet entrance, live music, monologue, film screening and a special tribute to the over 300,000 Child Soldiers fighting for survival in wars and conflicts around the globe. Join Director Eppo Eerkes initiative to support the eradication of Child Soldiers as he launches the development and production of the full length feature film “The Child Soldier”.
